Colorado House Bill 26-1114 would bar most cities from setting minimums of 2,000 square feet for a single-family lot. The cap would apply in areas served by municipal water and sewer. The bill also would block local governments from using frontage, setbacks, open space rules or lot coverage caps to make a 2,000-square-foot lot effectively unusable for housing.

We have about 500 people on the waiting list to buy condos, said John Tashjian, managing partner with Centurion Real Estate. That's unheard-of interest. I've had 50, I've had 100. But I've never seen anything like this before.

Spyglass Hill was the first of the planned communities that emerged in Newport Beach. Originally owned by the Irvine family, the land was developed under the auspices of the Irvine Co. Spyglass Hill was built in the early 1970s by the Lusk Co., and the last tract was completed in 1972.
The automated parking system uses a robotic arm to plug in a Level 2 charging cable. When the car finishes charging, the robotic arm unplugs the cable, and the EV is moved to another parking spot automatically. About a decade ago, Tesla promised a robotic arm that would automatically plug in an EV for overnight charging. That never happened, but other companies have risen to the challenge and are now offering fully featured products.
A planning row over the development of 55 apartments at a protected structure in a south Dublin suburb has resulted in dozens of residents submitting objections due to concerns about child safety, traffic and the impact on local creches and schools.

This residential tower brings new life to a previously overlooked industrial area in South Rotterdam, with 142 apartments and a ground-floor cafe that opens the quay to public use. Strategically positioned next to the Piek bridge, De Piek is part of a broader vision to convert the former industrial zone into a lively urban quarter blending residential, commercial, and public functions.

The Sax consists of two interconnected towers that truly live up to their musical namesake. The taller "Havana" tower soars 180 meters across 55 stories, while its companion "Philadelphia" reaches 82 meters with 26 floors. The towers are dramatically connected by a golden skybridge spanning six stories, creating what MVRDV describes as a "saxophone-like silhouette" that will serve as a beacon on Rotterdam's evolving waterfront.
The project includes a seven-story, 505-unit market-rate apartment building, a five-story, 132-unit, 100% affordable apartment building and 100 for-sale townhouse units configured in 14 three-story buildings. This site's been vacant for many years, and when we were first introduced to this site about two and a half years ago, it was in the time when builders' remedy applications seeking to lower density were abundant, said Scott Connelly, a representative of Valley Oaks Partners.
When you're hunting for a building plot, it's easy to think you'll stumble across a neat patch of grass with planning permission already sorted and services waiting at the boundary. In reality, that almost never happens and more often than not, the best opportunities are hidden in plain sight - old garages, barns, or even, in building expert Mark Stevenson's case, a disused post office.
